1. The White Channel which "..is based on the EQ and dynamics section of a channel strip from a
renowned large-format British console, and is the modern counterpart to our
acclaimed British Channel. The board became popular in the late ‘90s, was used on
many hip-hop/R&B recordings, and featured a wide bandwidth and pristine sound
quality. The White Channel offers an accurate emulation of the console circuitry,
allowing you to impart the sound of this classic large-format console on your own
mixes."

2. The Tape Echo "...based on one of the classic tape echo units of all time, the
Echoplex® EP 3. It features an amazingly accurate emulation of the sound of the
original unit, including the distinctive decrease in high-end on each successive echo,
which is typical of tape-echo units (and analog delay of all types). We also recreated
the effect on the sound of authentic tape-machine characteristics like wow and
flutter, noise and tape wear. Plus, we added some modern features that make it
functionally more flexible than the original hardware unit, including stereo operation,
separate delay times on L&R, and syncing to host tempo."

3. The Bus Compressor "...modeled after the master-bus compressor on one of the world’s most
famous mixing consoles. Featuring a VCA circuit design, it’s often referred to as the
“Glue Compressor,” for its ability to subtly “glue” a mix together. It has also been
used frequently for heavily compressing drum tracks. Our model accurately captures
the sound of the original hardware down to the behavior of the detection circuit, and
is enhanced by some added features like a "grit" control and large main knobs,
which were not on the original unit."

4. The British Channel "...modeled after one of the most widely used and
acknowledged pieces of hardware in the music history. Countless hit records have
been produced around the world on this British mixing console since the ‘80's, and
with its ultimate flexibility and trademark sound, it’s become a true staple of music
production technology. We decided to add a few further enhancements to its already
powerful design, by making the Black/Brown EQ modes selectable, adding filters and
I/O level controls to precisely drive the dynamics section from subtle compression to
true squashing, while still maintaining the razor sharp precision of the EQ and the
channel's overall sound faithful to the original. We’ve added a sleek new look to the
latest version, which makes navigating its controls even easier."
